Destination: Eorzea

I wanted to showcase the beauty of FFXIV's world and the players who bring it to life but I don't think one video can do it justice.
Please let me know what your favorite spots are and what I missed!

I've made some friends here and there who enjoy the game. Seeing all the different places I've never seen before in this video makes me want to continue my journey even more. As for my favorite place I've always, always loved Ishgard and Coerthas, specifically the area where *he rests*. It's a very special spot to me and it's incredibly pretty at night. Thank you for making this video :)

This is beautiful, I love it, and I think my favourite part is how I had to pause the video on certain areas and actually have to remember where they are because you showed them from an angle I'd never seen before.

[@lapisfengari2428]

That shot of the Leap of Faith with the Roegadyn failing right before it ends made me laugh, outside of that this video is great Does a great job at showing how diverse the game's world and players are and the camerawork and transitions are incredible

[@mikoto7693]

Ugh there’s a red and black harness one Roegadyn has which is infuriating because I know it was once used in FF11 too. The stats for the Scorpion Harness were so astoundingly good that any DPS class almost had to wear one well beyond lvl 57. It was hard to get, hard to craft and thus very expensive at the Auction House.

[@KooriGraywolf]

Why do I feel like I wanna call a travel agency and go for some exotic holidays? This was so incredibly well done. A minor detail is that I would've also liked to see how the crystals look at night, for example in Thanalan, or the Floating City of Nym, or those shiny trees/flowers near the Ninja shack in La Noscea. Other than that, this is a beautiful and beautifully done video that makes me wanna show it to non-players of the game.

[@th0rne_999]

@@kiiturii It really is. The first time I joined a hunt train I'm sure I had goosebumps just knowing all these players, a whole fucking mob is here to take out some unfortunate wildlife together. The coolest thing though has got to be the ShB special fates. There's always so many people and you have to work together for quite a while. Feels like a raid boss but it's open world and with so many people. I don't mind the lag at all, it just reminds me more of how many people there are.

[@deon_zell]

Goodness, this is amazing. I can't stop watching this over and over. I gotta list all the things I love about this!! - That amazing editing to the beat including a great mix of the motion within the shots coupled with the cuts. - Every single shot with a windmill or a tarpe keyed out. - That part with you walking through the scenes including sound effects like the night stalls and an exhale from Lakshmi. - That Hroth falling right before the end of the Leap of Faith. - Every single windmill shot. - How every thing looks so cinematic and smooth with the camera angles and travelling. - Those parts with everyone in the colours of the rainbow and with all those different mounts. Ahhh! Also this is such a good song! I love it now.
